OSDisc.com Has Closed

August 4, 2019

Hi Everyone,
After over 16 years, OSDisc.com has closed. I started OSDisc to spread Linux and help new users get started. But providing DVDs today has little effect on the spread of Linux. I regularly see small distros that provide
tens of thousands of downloads, but few if any DVDs are provided by OSDisc. The vast majority of Linux users are downloading Linux themselves. And that's a great thing to see.
What we've accomplished:

Shipped over 300,000 discs and USB drives

Helped over 110,000 users get started with Linux

Answered over 25,000 tech support tickets

Given back over $200,000 to the open source community

Thank you to everyone for making OSDisc possible for the past 16 years.
Sincerely,
Ramsey Brenner
OSDisc.com Founder

PCLinuxOS is an English only install and live DVD initially based on Mandrake Linux. It runs entirely from a single DVD. Data on the DVD is uncompressed on the fly, making all of the 2GB of software ready to use. A complete X server, KDE desktop, OpenOffice.org, and many more applications are readily available. After you've installed PCLinuxOS, additional packages can be added or removed from your hard drive using apt-get with the Synaptic frontend.
